Listing Details

Bushwalkers camping at Tevelein Falls must be self-sufficient. You must carry your own water and a fuel stove. The Douglas-Apsley National Park is an inland reserve partway between Bicheno and St Marys on the East Coast of Tasmania. The park includes three river catchments being the Douglas, Denison and Apsley as well as gorges and cascades. Points of interest include dolerite boulders, rugged hills including Nichols Cap, lower-lying sandstones, sweeping coastal views, a range of bushwalks, wildflowers, waterfalls, swimming holes, birds and wildlife. The Douglas-Apsley National Park is app. halfway up Tassie's east coast, app. 90 minutes drive from Launceston and about 110 minutes drive from Hobart. To get to the southern end, turn off the Tasman Highway (A3) onto Rosedale road 3 kilometres north of Bicheno. The northern entrance is via a Forestry road 24 kilometres north of Bicheno. Travel along this road for 4.5 kilometres to a junction and take the left fork along the ' E' road. Travel a further one kilometre to another junction and take the right fork. The car park is 500 metres from this point. Douglas Apsley Park is sensitive to fire, comprising large sections of dry forest with most of it in remote and rugged country. For this reasons fuel stoves only are permitted between October 1 and April 30. During this period open fires are not permitted. The Douglas-Apsley National Park is accessible by unsealed roads leading off the main highway between Bicheno and St. Mary's People visit this area for a few hours or several days. The camping area is located in natural surroundings free of modern facilities. Nearby towns of Bicheno and St Marys supply most facilities and offer conveniences of shops.

Please note that reaching Tevelien Falls is difficult. They are located upstream of the Douglas River campsite, the second night of walking the Leeaberra Track (please note you can drive a 4WD to the start of the track and complete the walk in a day). The track is mostly easy enough to follow, with triangular orange markers on trees showing the route for much of the distance - please note in some places the track is very rough. You will pass through thick grass, climb up and down numerous hills and pass through some boring dry forest before reaching the Tevelien Falls campsite.
